Adding a mirror to a RAID1 Device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all, I've got a peculiar problem.  I added some new disk space to my
system (Linux 2.4.19, Mandrake), and created a RAID1 drive /dev/md0 with
only 1 active mirror because I didn't have enough space (yet) to put
everything on my new raid drive.  I had the intention of then addeding
another disk to the raid setup later so that it would just
auto-reconsctruct and be ready to go.

However, when I do raidhotadd, I doesn't seem to reconsctruct.


So, my /proc/mdstat looks like this:

Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part3[0]
      81920064 blocks [1/1] [U]


When I
   raidhotadd /dev/md0  /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3

I get the following /proc/mdstat:

Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part3[0] \ <contd.>
                   ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3[0]
      81920064 blocks [1/1] [U]

unused devices: <none>


It doesn't reconsctruct the drive from bus0 as I expected it to.  What do
I do to convince the kernel to do the reconstruction?

Thanks,
-Caleb
